Helvi Rapid 380/480 - Battery Charger with Starter

The Helvi Rapid 380 and Rapid 480 battery chargers with starter have been designed for charging and starting 12/24 V batteries . These Helvi battery chargers combine the functions of a traditional battery charger with those of a starter , allowing not only to maintain batteries in perfect efficiency, but also to provide the power necessary to start engines in critical conditions.

Connected to the mains and the battery, they allow you to select the charging or starting mode via a practical selector . The integrated ammeter shows the intensity of the current supplied in real time, allowing constant control of the process. Thanks to internal protections against overload, short circuit and polarity reversal , Helvi devices guarantee safe and reliable use in both hobby and professional fields.

Both models come with battery clamps

Functional specifications

2 in 1 battery chargers and starters

The Helvi Rapid 380 and Rapid 480 jump-start chargers combine the function of slow or fast battery charging with the possibility of providing assistance in starting vehicles, thus offering two devices in one. They are particularly useful in workshops, dealerships, service centers or for semi-professional use. With a single unit, it is possible to maintain the batteries in efficiency and deal with emergency situations in which the vehicle does not start.

Safe operation protections

Equipped with an analog ammeter, Helvi battery chargers allow immediate visual control of the current supplied . The selector allows you to choose between different charging modes (standard or Boost for quick starting), adapting to the connected battery. The thermostatic protection against prolonged use in starting mode prevents overheating, while the internal fuse protects against short circuits and polarity reversals, ensuring the safety of the operator and the vehicle.

Robust yet easy to carry chargers

Built with solid materials and designed for continuous use, Helvi Rapid 380 and 480 offer a compact and easy to handle structure . The small size and optimised weight make them easily transportable, while maintaining a high output power. They are ideal for being moved around the workshop or used in the field.
